According to Exxon Mobil's financial statements, their "obscene" profit is only about 10% of sales. That is not extreme at all. Why isn't anyone looking at it from this angle?
That's right. If companies like Exxon-Mobil were nearly as profitable as people make them out to be, then even people as marginal as U.S. Senators would quit their jobs and go to work in the oil industry.
